Vella seedai

Vella cheedai is the one of the neivediyam (Prasad) for Krishna Jayanti. There are many horrifying stories of seedai bursting while frying. And now a days you get a pack for Gokulashtami prasad. I have tried many times and failed. As they say ‘ Try try…….. till you succeed’. So, finally I succeeded. Here’s the recipe for Vella Seedai.

Ingredients

Rice powder – 1 cup

Urad dal Powder – 2 table spoon

Coconut – 1 small piece. ( 2 table spoons of grated coconut)

Gur / Vellam – 3/4 cup

Til – 1/2 table spoon

Oil for frying

Procedure

Firstly , you fry the rice powder lightly. Keep it separate.

Then, in the same pan roast the til.

Cut the coconut into small pieces. ( I normally use grated coconut)

Take jaggery in a pan and add water till it gets soaked and now let the jaggery melt properly.

Now add the rice flour , til and coconut and mix well to make dough.

Make small rounds with all the dough.

Deep fry the seedai till it is golden brown or till the seedai’s are cooked properly.
